.This invention relates to certain improve ments in lipstick holders, that is, holders of 7 small size designed tocarry lipsticks, eyebrow pencils and the like. 7 1

It is the especial object ofthe present invention to produce a holder of this character in which thereare provided two'containers.

which are closed at their outer ends and open into a central sleeve at thelrinner ends,'the containers being pivoted to thissleeve mde v pendently so that the article -may be used produce a container of few parts so that it can be cheaply made and easily assembled,

and one in which the containers will be maintained 1n removable engagement with the central sleeve so as to be prevcnted'from acci-- dental opening and consequent vpossible loss of the contents.

With these and other objectsiiot specifically referred to in view, the invention consists in certain novel parts, arrangements and ino en osition' V 7 in Figure 1 showing the parts closed;

combinations which will be described-in connection with the accompanying drawingsand the novel features pointed outin-the'claims hereunto annexed. i g T Referring-to these dr'awings,- i Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved holder with the individual containers shown Figure 2 is a side viewof the holdershown Figure 3 is a viewlooking down on thearrangement shown in Figure 1 with the parts in the same position; V

Figure 4 1s a detail view simllar to Flgure 1, partly in section, on ajmuch enlarged scale to show certain details of construction, and

Figure 5 is a detail'view of the preferred construction for hinging the parts together.-

proved holder will includea central sleeve or collar 1 which is hollow; Pivotally secured to this central sleeve, at oppositeside edges, 1s a pairofindependent containers 2,

3, having outer ends 4 closed andtheiriinner ends 5; open, these inner endsopening' into the centralsleeve.

These containers are small sothat the whole article may be conveniently-carried in a ladys "handbag or other convenient receptacle, and

are capacitated to hold alipstick, aneyebrow] if desired, a small bottle ofperfume ,Each of the containers is provided pencil or,

near its inner end with a bead-6, hereinafter referred to, and above the head with a short flange 7 which has frictional engagement with the inner wall of'thc sleeve. Preferably means such as a nib 8- is provided on the flange for increasing the frictional engagement between theflange and the wall of the sleeve so that the parts are held securely in position. V 5 3 These two containers are pivotally secured to the edges of the sleeve by suitable hinges and, in thebest constructions, these hinge members will be located'at the. bead 6hefore referred to. In the particular form shown,

thebead of each container is formed with a pair ofnarrow' slots (see Figure 5) marked 9 leavingaweb 10 between them. The central slee've at each side is formed with a proslots "9 and engagethe web 10, as shown in Figure Lthis"projection being marked 11. .With thisconstruction the containers may 7 easy assembly of the-parts; V, The holder as a whole may, if desired, be providedwith means by which it maybe attached to a chain or have attached thereto a jection which isbent'to pass through the vanityboxor the like. Such means, of course,

may be variedbutin the particular construction shown there-is provided a ring 12 which is secured to a staple13, the legs 14 of which are passed through an opening 15 formed in the-wall of the sleeve and bentup againstthe wall so as to firmly hold the ring inposition T In the container construction as described, 7

it will be observed that the central sleeve acts as a connecting piece for the two containers and also serves as a protection, guarding the user from the particular cosmetic which is not in use at the time the other container is moved away from the sleeve, and its contents are being employed.

It will be observed furtherfthatthe sepa- V rate containers 2, 3, are longer than the sleeve so that when the article is suspended from 7 r the ring, the weightof the containers tends to keep them in engagement with the connect- 7 ing sleeve, this thus assisting the'nibs in-holding the parts against accidental displacement.

' While the invention has been shownand described in its preferred-(form, it Will'be 'understood'that certain changes 'and varia- V tions may be'made in the shape offthe 'cont 'tainers and in the particular Wayin which 1 a they are secured to thecentralsleeveandthat" such changes are within the invention as del fined in the appended claimsi V What I claim is: v

V a central hollow guard sleeve, 3133.11 of lipstick. containerseach longer than the sleeve "1;, In a lipstick holder, the combination of closed at their outer ends andopening at their inner ends intothe sleeve, a head at the inner end'of each container, slots in each bead, and

a projection on the sleeveat each slot passing through the slots and't'urned over to form i' a knuckle for hingingthe containersto-the edges of the sleeve. 2. In ajlipstick holder, the combination of g 7' a central hollow guard sleeve, a pair of'lipstick containers each longer thanithe sleeve closed at their outer'ends and opening at their inner ends into the sleeve, a bead at the inner endofeach container, a flange above thebead 'for frictional engagementlwith thewalls of f the sleeve, and means for hinging'the containers at the bead to opposite edges ofthe sleeve.

'3. In a lipstickliolderuthe combination" of a central hollow guard sleeve, apair of lipstick containers longer thanthe' sleev'eiclosed at their outer ends andop'eining'at their inner ends into the sleeve, and'vhinge means. connecting the holders at opposite sides ofthe sleeve," Intestimony whereof, I have hereuntojset my hand.
